<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm applying to Rhodes for fall2012 and I'm really worried that I wont be accepted, I'm currently taking a gap year, so i hope that doesn't affect me</p>

<p>Intended major: Biochemistry and French
final HS GPA: 3.75
SAT : 1850....ehhh (retook in November, expecting at least 2050)
SAT II: Bio-M 650 Chem-690 French- will sit in December (anticipating 710 or more)
200+ hours of community service
Science Club president 2 years
Varsity Swimming 4 years
Varsity tennis 2 years
Cultural Awareness Club 1 year
School Prefect 2 years</p>

<p>any takers?</p>

<p>If you are an international minority, you will almost definitely get into Rhodes. That is a major plus for you. I wouldn’t be worried.</p>

<p>hahahaha I doubt it! Rhodes is a highly selective school and they wouldn’t just accept people just because they’re international minorities. Yea it would be a plus but if my SAT score or GPA isn’t cutting it then, no acceptance for me
.
In any case, I’m not just looking to be accepted I’m hoping to receive a scholarship. So that’s where most of my worry stems from :/</p>

<p>Yes, I think you will get in. Not certain how much, if any, merit based aid you will be offered.</p>

<p>Thanks for giving me a chance guys! I 'm just waiting on my Nov SAT score, hopefully its 2100+ that way I can be a competitive applicant (test score wise)</p>

7

<p>well i just got back my Nov SAT scores Cr 710, M 720 and W 670 (2100 :D) so I’m keeping my fingers crossed</p>

<p>A 1850 is roughly a 27-28 on the ACT scale, which definitely puts you in consideration. You will get in.</p>

9

<p>lol thanks goose7856! I’m just keeping my fingers crossed for a decent financial aid offer.</p>

<p>Rhodes does a very good job with financial aid. You will probably have between 10-15k/year in merit. Need is based on a variety of factors.</p>
